! SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOf3 CHAPTERS
An American major, detailed to penetrate the German lines to secure
information in reference to the Enemy's plans for the great drive on Paris,
is a f rented as "an embt-ixler and deserter" at Henday. Fiance. He-"escapes'
and reaches" San Sebastian In Spain, where his reputation leads him
to be soliciued to join the German secret service. He accepts the orrer made
him and is ordered to first rescue a German prince whom he American
army holds under sentence of. death as a sry, and then to procure the
-plans of othe Liberty motor. I
The prince is "Rescued" that the! major's position with the German
tspy syHtenTmay be' made as strong as possible. A captain in the aviation
'corps, who is an expert on aeroplane motors is. detailed to work with him
as "a deserter who has stolen the plans of the Liberty motor."'
The captain so confuses the "Group of Five" In San Sebastian that the
German prince suggests" that the two Americans be sent to Kiel with him
on d submarine that the captain may explain the plans to the High Com
mand. This is done and they arrive in Kiel after all are nearly killed and
the sub-sea boat destroyed by the explosion of a depth bomb launched
from a British destroyer. i "
, The major and captain are kept in Kiel but a short time under the
care of a Captain Schmidt, who never loses an opportunity to covertly In
sult them. . They are sent to Coblenz to be questioned by the German Hlxh
Command, , Before they leave, the remark of a German general convinces
"tbe major that they are to be murdered as soon as they divulge all they
know The major understands German but has pretended he does not. In
Ibis way learning many things that would otherwise have escaped him.
1 In Coblenz they are quartered in a hotel and are approached by two
' women living there,' whom they: suspect are members of the German se
cret service. They gain the confidence of these women, who tell them
the Germans are not sure of them and that they are to be killed after they
haverglven the German general staff all the information they posses.
' 'V The officers stick, to their: story and convince the women that they
are really American deserters with a price on their bead3. The -women
report that they are what they claim to be. The next morning they"leave
Coblecs for General , von Illndenburg's headquarters.

to the success of his mission.
Finding that Captain Schmidt had
returned he told him; that the Gen
eral.was through with him and had
' ' ordered him to gp back to his hotel.
'Immediately a car was summoned
and instructions were given to take
the major backMo Coblenz.
Late' that 'night, the captain Te
turned froni'hls interview with the
"chief of' the aviation "corps" and re-

'We must not allow them to sepr
arate us that way," replied the ma
jor. "If you are sent into the in
terior of this country, no one will
know what happens to you. Fight
such a suggestion, for we must' stick
together."
In the morning, to the snrprlse of
both officers, von Hindenburg sent
motor car ' with instructions ' to
bring the American captain to his
office.

! She was pale and showed that she
was laboring under great exclte-
ment.
"Major!" she exclaimed, "you are
under suspicion. Jnst as soon us
the captain is through with his de-
script ion of" the motor and feel con
fident, they understand it. you both
are to be quietly put out of the way.
I have been ordered to keep a close
watch on you so that you will not
escape. Oh. what are we going to
do?"
"The only thing that I "can sug
gest." replied the major, "is for n
to appeal to His Highness-for pro
tection. Von must find out for me
just where he Is and I will write
him a letter."
"That's all very well." said the
woman, "but if I were you 1 would
not depend too much on him. Even
he has to give' way to the High Com
mand. Instead of trusting to him.

efforts rtnon your escaping into Hol

the solution."

with victory almost within their
